    What does "Familiarity" mean to you?

    I did. I can't figure the DC for each knowledge however. A DC X (10/15) + creature CR (higher CR = less common creature) could be right? examples of knowledges: Planes: outsiders, elementals Arcana: constructs Nature: animals, beasts, plants remaining (not sure about the right knowledge)...

    What does "Familiarity" mean to you?

    Familiar = Seen Once is generally wrong, cause an accurate description can actually be better Here are a couple of examples to demonstrate this: 1. Shifter A sees a troll, but doesn't have a fight with him. How could he guess he can regenerate? 2. Someone in a tavern describes to Shifter B a...

    The Big Ol' thread of cool things to do with a shifter.

    Now, we have to do a last thing: specify the Shifter level you can get each shape (given by size, HD and type) The HD actually is a problem, cause not everyone will get Shifter at 6th. Ideas? I'll do it for my "exotic" books (MotP, MagOF and PsiHbk) in the next days.

    Re: I'd hate to burst everyone's bubble... Pasted from the MotW Exerpt at WotC site: "She does not gain any supernatural or spell-like abilities (such as breath weapons or gaze attacks) of her new form, but does gain all the form's extraordinaryabilities .

    Questions about the Shifter PrC

    Re: Hmmm Yes, but probably you'll get this as well (it actually refers to a controlled golem) Berserk (Ex): When a clay golem enters combat, there is a cumulative 1% chance each round that its elemental spirit breaks free and goes berserk. The uncontrolled golem goes on a rampage, attacking...

    The Big Ol' thread of cool things to do with a shifter.

    Remember: - No feys allowed (so no pixies, satyrs) - No SU or SP abilities (no beholder eyes) - No shapeshifters (no doppleganger) Not sure if allowed (discussed on other threads) - Templates (half dragon, ghost, vampire...) - Creature type abilities (undead/constructs immunity to criticals...)

    The Big Ol' thread of cool things to do with a shifter.

    Pyrohydra and Cryohydra breath (3d6 each head) seem natural. Am I right? If so, what about Laernan Hydra "The only way to slay a Lernaean hydra normally is to sever all its heads..." Try the Astral Constructs from the Psionic Handbook, which you can personalize with abilities taken from a list...

    Motw: Shifter (and Shapechange spell)

    DOH! So if I want to take it at 6th I'll have to be a Druid :mad: Anyone has found an alternative to get the Shifter at low level? A Wizard must wait until 7th to get Poly and hardly I will find a race with ECL +0 and alternate form.

    Motw: Shifter (and Shapechange spell)

    Is Alter Self enough? Otherwise Polys are 4th level spells, which would require 4th level arcane spells as prereq.

    Shifter in elemental form?

    Why not? Air elementals flight is their natural movement. The beholder flight is Exceptional, but if a Dragon can fly, an air elemental can too.

    Motw: Shifter (and Shapechange spell)

    But if I have a Wizard with a lot of knowledges 10+ (Arcana, planes, nature, religion...) couldn't I have studied a lot of creatures reading books? I don't remember the right name (Beastchasers?), but in T&B there is a group of wizards dedicated to the study of creatures.

    Motw: Shifter (and Shapechange spell)

    The meaning of "familiar with" is: 1. Seen? 2. Studied (using some Knowledge skill)?

    Motw: Shifter (and Shapechange spell)

    1. Obviously someone changed into half-dragon/X cannot use his breath weapon (which is SU). My mistake. 2. The errated Polys don't allow the use of templates.

    Motw: Shifter (and Shapechange spell)

    Can a shifter add a template to a creature he changes into? The shifter cannot assume shapes with more HD than him, am I right? So, a Wiz5/ShifterX can change into a troll (Hd 6), but if templates are allowed, he can change into an half dragon/troll (fly, breath, regeneration, STR +8...). Same...

    MotW: Prc, Feats, Spells...

    Someone who got MoTW can post a brief description of the PrC (I'm expecially interested in the Shifter), Feats and Spells?
